Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band at Madison Square Garden

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, U2, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and more will help the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame celebrate its 25th anniversary with two star-studded Madison Square Garden concerts in October.

The shows - to be curated by Tom Hanks, Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, director Cameron Crowe, The Band's Robbie Robertson and others - will tell the history of rock and roll, with each of the artists and their special guests tackling a different segment.

"These once-in-a-lifetime concerts are designed to celebrate the artists and their music," Wenner said in a statement.

The Oct. 29 concert will feature Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Friends, and Stevie Wonder. The Oct. 30 concert will include U2, Franklin, Metallica and Eric Clapton.

Madison Square Garden is owned by Cablevision, which also owns Newsday.

All of those performers are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, an elite group of artists who become eligible for induction 25 years after their first release.
